A pleasant weekend is on tap for the region weatherwise, forecasters say, with only the chance for a few showers on Sunday night marring the outlook.

Expect a mix of sun and clouds today and the slight threat of a passing sprinkle this evening, says Erika Martin of WXEdge.com. Saturday will be mostly dry, she said, with "just a quick hiccup'' in the form of a passing shower.

WTNH meteorologist Sam Kantrow said to expect Saturday to be dry from start to finish, one of the few recent days without any precipitation. Easter Sunday starts off with plenty of sunshine, but clouds will build throughout the day.

Martin said that a storm system headed our way will arrive by 6 p.m. Sunday, bringing light rain.

"The rain moves through on Monday, and while (computer) models have shown a bit of a back up on possible showers for Tuesday, I'm leaving in sun and clouds,'' she said. It will be sunny on Wednesday and mostly sunny on Thursday and Friday, Martin said.

Daytime highs throughout the period will be in the low- to mid-50s, about what is expected for this time of year, Kantrow said. It should remain freezing at night along the shore, but there is a chance that the low Monday night could fall below 32 in the Danbury area, forecasters say.

The National Weather Service forecast calls for a sunny day on Saturday and a rainy afternoon on Sunday, with partly to mostly cloudy skies early next week.
